InvestUK issues warning against ‘Invest UK Bonds’

9 March 2021

Recently we’ve become aware that a company named ‘Invest UK Bonds’ (www.investukbonds.com) is providing financial services or products in the UK without authorisation from the Financial Conduct Authority.

 

Occasionally, businesses and individuals create fake emails or websites designed to look like companies that are part of the InvestUK Group. These emails and websites can be used to try to steal personal information, such as your password or bank account info. This is often called phishing or spoofing.

 

Based on information held by the Financial Conduct Authority, ‘Invest UK Bonds’ is believed to be targeting people in the UK and carrying out regulated activities without authorisation. Be aware that scammers may give out other false details or change their contact details over time to new email addresses, telephone numbers or physical addresses.

 

‘Invest UK Bonds’ is not associated with the InvestUK Group. The InvestUK Group does not promote financial services or products in the United Kingdom without FCA authorisation, nor does it own or control the website www.investukbonds.com.

 

A full list of domains that the InvestUK Group does own and control is below:

 

If you think you have been approached by an unauthorised firm impersonating the InvestUK Group please contact us by emailing enquiries@iukgroup.com.
